    VCD format or VCD players? VCD format is MPEG1 and the video quality isn't even worth looking at. SVCD is MPEG 2 format and using the right encoder=produces superior video quality.

    Just did some testing regarding write speeds. I dropped my write speed to 4x and burned a movie. The speed has no effect on getting widescreen svcd to play on my friends Dansai 1010, still the same screen movement. However when compared to the same movie burned at 42x using aspect ratio there is a slight image quality improvement on the Dansai (slightly less blocky during darkness scenes but this has always been a problem with the Dansai). However when converting a SVCD from DiVX or XViD there is no difference no matter what speed it is burned at. I also tried all versions on 3 other DVD players (Cyberhome 528L, Alba 108, and my 14 inch Portable/DVD combi) with no difference in any of them. Through doing this it seems there is no problem with burning at high speeds but more of a problem with the standalone players. My conclussion, I dont see the benifit of waiting 40-60 mins for disks I can burn in 7-9mins for the sake of a slightly blocky night scene on one out of four dvd players. BTW the widescreen SVCD problem still only seems to be with the Dansai as these disks work on every other player I tried.

    I'll just stick with the official recommendation of 4x even though my burner is 40x. Tests done for the plast few years proved that audio cds burned at 4x are more reliable than those burned at 16x - 48x. Its like burning on the fly is not as good as burning from an image!!
